Camping is a wonderful way to connect with nature and enjoy the great outdoors. But let’s be honest, it can be challenging to leave behind the comforts of home, especially regarding power. Luckily, there are some great gadgets out there that can make your camping trip much more enjoyable.
This blog post recommends the top gadgets you should bring on your next campout.
- Inverter Generator
One of the most essential gadgets for camping is an inverter generator. Inverter generators are a reliable and efficient power source for all your camping needs. They are designed to be portable, and quiet and produce clean, stable energy, making them ideal for use in the great outdoors.
Our Cromtech Leisure Generator Range features 2.4kW, 4.5kW, and 7kW inverter generators suited for camping and caravanning. The entire range features USB outlets, main LED sensors, an eco-mode (which adjusts output as load requires and lowers noise), pure sine wave and a manufacturer’s warranty.
The Cromtech Outback Inverter Generator 2.4kW in particular, is one of the quietest models in the market, boasting only 52-59db (at 7m on eco mode ) and 60-62db (at continuous rated output).
When choosing a generator, consider which appliances you will be running to determine how much wattage you will need. Additionally, consider the fuel capacity and efficiency of the generator, as this dictates the amount of time the generator will run for.

2. Portable Solar Panels
Portable solar panels are a helpful tool for campers. These panels are ideal for use when camping to recharge your electronics. You may use them to charge your phone, tablet, or other electrical devices, and they are lightweight and simple to set up.
Portable solar panels are also an excellent way to reduce your camping carbon footprint. You may lessen your environmental impact and encourage sustainable living by switching to solar electricity instead of conventional power sources to power your caravan.
3. Camping Stove
For any camping excursion, a camping stove is a must! So you can prepare meals to fuel yourself while enjoying the beautiful outdoors. Many different camping stoves are available, from small, lightweight backpacking stoves to larger, more powerful burners that can prepare meals for an entire family.
Consider your needs and the kind of camping you’ll do before selecting a stove. If you plan hiking and backpacking, a lightweight stove is essential, while larger stoves are better suited for caravanning.
4. Water Filtration System
When camping, having access to clean drinking water is crucial, and a portable water filter can help. Straw filters and pump filters are only two examples of the various portable water filters offered. They are simple to use and help you avoid carrying around bulky water bottles.
5. Portable Power Bank
Having a portable bank while camping helps you not be heavily reliant on conventional power sources, allowing you to keep your devices powered on and charged while on the go.
From small, pocket-sized banks that can charge your phone once to larger banks that can charge numerous devices repeatedly, portable power banks are available in various shapes and sizes. Be sure the power bank you purchase suits your requirements and the number of devices you want to use.
6. Portable Cooler
A portable cooler is the ideal camping accessory for keeping your food and beverages cold. Portable coolers come in various sizes, from those that fit in a backpack to those suitable for automobile camping. They can keep your food and beverages cool for several days and are simple to operate.
7. Lighting
Good lighting is essential when going camping, as it not only provides visibility but also enhances safety and comfort. In the absence of proper lighting, camping can become a challenging experience as it can be difficult to navigate through the campsite or perform tasks in the dark. Furthermore, good lighting can deter animals and insects, reducing the risk of encountering them at night.
The 18V Jobsite Work Light Portable from the CAT ® Power Tools range is an excellent gadget to bring when you are camping. It has a flood light illumination pattern with two modes (super bright/energy saving mode), and a COB LED light that ensures long service life and minimum heat generation. This light has a flexible 360-degree head, is battery-powered and can be mounted or suspended.
Whether you are setting up a tent, cooking a meal, fixing your campervan or replacing a tyre, having good lighting will enhance your overall camping experience.
Get your hands on your own CAT ® work light from one of our authorised dealers nationally or online at CAT ® Power Tools Australia.
Camping is an excellent way to escape the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life and immerse yourself in nature. So before embarking on your next adventure, invest money in the right gear as it will ensure that your camping trip is comfortable, safe, and enjoyable.
